Talk to litterbox. Done it and so far everything has run all right. Oh, and K20.org and search are good tools as well.

The only thing hard about the swap is on your WALLET! Big bucks. Getting the motor in is a bit of a challenge. If you've done a B-series swap, then this is no different. There are a lot of parts that need to be purchased and I recommend that you have all of them before attempting to perform this swap. There are plug and play harnesses out there so wiring isn't an issues. If you're swaping a k20 into an EK, I recommend the EG crossmember w/matching LCA's and steering rack. Gives the motor more ground clearance and straighter axles.
